    change in body with kitten to cat food.....

    At first I thought is was just Tacoma losing weight, but then Tundra started dropping as well. Do cats generally lose a little weight when you switch from Kitten to Adult Cat food? I still mix the dry food with wet Nutro twice a day and then free feed during the day. They both still eat about...

My Dh and I recently fostered a 2 1/2 year old little girl and she"ll be coming in about 2 weeks. Is there anything that I can do...

    Leaving the cats overnight...is that ok?

    Hi everyone, It has been a while since I've been on. My husband and I are going away from Sunday to Sunday. I have agonized over leaving Tundra and Tacoma with a pet sitter or our vet who also happens to board pets. It would be $288 for the nights that they both stay and that is a little...

    thinning fur along the eyes and side of face

    ....and I know what is causing it. When my kittens are grooming themselves, especially after eating, both kittens are rubbing themselves so hard that they they are rubbing the fur off of their faces. What, if anything, can I do about this? It is more obvious now that their fur is thickening...

    oh my..what happened to cute and cuddly?

    My kittens are growing so fast. Seriously, I leave in the AM and come home from work and wonder what happened to them. Tundra is now almost 24 inches long when laying down from tip of nose to bottom. I just measured his tail at 11 inches long. Is this normal? The vet did say that they were both...

    Feeding Schedule...how late is too late?

    I have been feeding my 20 week old kittens at 6:30 am - wet and dry mix. Then, I leave out dry for the day while my dh and I work. I was waiting until 7:00 to feed them the dry and wet mix again. They do not eat as much as what the directions say on the pouches/cans and I feel so guilty. The vet...

    Yeah, clean bill of health for Tundra and Tacoma

    My two 19 week old kittens are doing great! I am so proud of us for first time kitten owners. I was worried about the food, the water, the growth spurt NADA to worry about. Although, the vet did look at them and said "oh my, but they are big now you've done a wonderful job, my dear." They are...

    Canned food dilemma

    Kittens won't interact with my husband...

    and I know he is gentle with them - he is the one who brought them home to us with no warning... we have had them for about 4 weeks now. At first, Tundra would favor him and the other me. Now, they both will run to the door when he gets home and then walk off as if disinterested. These two...

    Having Tundra and Tacoma neutered

    They are approx. 16 weeks now. Both are male brothers who have not ever been separated. We do not plan on getting anymore cats. What is the recovery like for them? Do we do this to both at the same time? I was wondering what to expect. Thanks

    So I started with Authority wet....

    and Tundra now has a very gassy wet poop. Tacoma is fine. I gave it to both of them yesterday am and pm and Tundra couldn't handle it. Is it because it is a new wet food. I used to give them Fancy Feast which they both loved and handled very well. I switched because I was reading about FF not...

    OK, the next plunge - bath time!

    Tundra and Tacoma each need a bath. They are very comfortable with us now and trust us. They are 14 weeks old. Can I give them a bath now? They do need one. How do I do the best job at this task?

    Update on "sleeping a lot " Tundra....

    I wrote last night that my 14 week old kitten was all of a sudden sleeping a lot, avoiding his brother, and sleeping on us as much as possible. He also had a bloody bottom after using the litterbox (happened once). I took him to the vet today and he had a fever and what looks like an air-born...

    Do kittens tell us apart by smell?

    One kitten will love more on my husband and the other comes to me. They will both come to us and since I am the "feeder" they will mew and rub on me at feeding time. When it comes to sleeping/napping Tacoma goes to my husband and Tundra comes to me. How do they know this in the matter of 6 days...

    Tundra - at 12 weeks is suckling...

    Is there anything I am supposed to be doing about this? He will crawl up on my or my husband and suckle on our t shirts and paw at us while purring (usually in the crook of our arms or at the neck line. He will lay close to my neck and have at it. He has also taken a particular fondness to one...

    what next to feed Tundra and Tacoma?

    I have been giving Tundra and Tacoma Purina Kitten Chow this week. We have only had these two 12 week old kittens for 5 days now. At first I softened it with a little water and then I have been giving them a little chow dry during the day to munch on. When can I start giving them something else...
